SCOPE OF WORK WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT THE WORLD LEADER IN PIPE JOINING SOLUTIONS
THE VICTAULIC DIFFERENCE HOUSING GROOVE GASKET BOLT/NUT GROOVE GROOVED PIPE JOINING TECHNOLOGY How does it work? The groove is made by cold forming or machining a groove into the end of a pipe. A gasket encompassed by the coupling housing is wrapped around the two grooved pipe ends, and the key sections of the coupling housing engage the grooves. The bolts and nuts are tightened with a socket wrench or impact wrench. Types of grooved joints Flexible allows for controlled linear and angular movement, which accommodates pipeline deflection as well as thermal expansion and contraction. Rigid does not allow for movement, similar to a flanged or welded joint. WST-SOW REV A
At the core of all the benefits that Victaulic solutions bring to a project such as productivity, safety, design flexibility and quality are the unique features of our products. VICTAULIC GROOVED END PIPING SYSTEMS PROVIDE: Easy system maintenance and expansion through simple coupling disassembly that allows for easy access. Alignment ease through a design that allows for full rotation of the pipe and system components before tightening. contraction expansion deflection Flexibility with the inherent axial movement and deflection properties of flexible joints in a groove system. Flexible couplings may be used to accommodate pipeline thermal expansion and contraction, misalignment and settlement, and seismic stress absorption. Noise and vibration attenuation by isolating the transference of vibration at each joint. end load end load Self restrained pipe joints couplings engage the pipe grooves to hold the pipes against full pressure thrust loads without the need of supplemental restraints. Rigidity Rigid joints clamp between the two pipe ends, resisting torsional and flexible loads. victaulic.com 1 WST-SOW REV A
GROOVE VS. FLANGE REDUCING WEIGHT AND SAVING SPACE Space requirements Problem: Confined spaces Solution: Grooved couplings have a smaller product profile than flanged components. Couplings can be rotated 360 degrees to ease installation. Compressed schedules Problem: Schedule overruns Solution: With far fewer bolts and nuts than a flanged joint, installation time can be dramatically reduced. End view grooved pipe gallery End view flanged pipe gallery Can be rotated for easy installation Rear bolts and nuts are inaccessible WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? Flanges are considerably larger than grooved mechanical couplings. This makes installation and maintenance much harder in tight spaces. Grooved Flanged WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? Victaulic installs faster and reduces downtime during retrofits and repairs, saving you money on labor and resource costs. Victaulic couplings ship with the appropriate nuts, bolts and gaskets, simplifying ordering and part location on a jobsite. 2 WST-SOW REV A
ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF VICTAULIC FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS IS THAT THEY OFFER EXCELLENT VIBRATION ATTENUATION COMPARED WITH FLANGING. Willem van Koningsbruggen, Superintendent for Smit International Weight Constraints Problem: Heavy system components Solution: Lighter weight mechanical pipe-joining technique 75% FEWER NUTS AND BOLTS. Standard Grooved Flanged Grooved Flanged WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? Flanged systems are nearly double the weight of grooved solutions. This not only makes installation more difficult and time consuming but adds a significant amount of weight to hanging requirements and supports. victaulic.com 3 WST-SOW REV A
THE FACILITY 4 Victaulic secondary treatment solutions offer corrosion resistance, easy system access, and thermal movement accommodation, without the need for pickling and passivation creating a secondary treatment piping system that can withstand any environment. 3 Victaulic products used in the primary treatment process offer fewer bolts and nuts than flanges, heat-free installation (eliminate this, since flanged systems don t require any heat), and easy access to the system, allowing for faster system maintenance, and multiple solutions for chemical feeds. 2 This vital separation of large debris prevents plant damage, equipment failure, increased chemical usage, or blocked water flow in pipes which could all slow water treatment. Victaulic preliminary treatment solutions allow easy access to the piping system, quick maintenance; full port plug valves and glass lined product options minimize clogs in the piping. 4 WST-SOW REV A
5 Victaulic tertiary treatment solutions offer high pressure couplings and long radius glass lined fittings, which allow for easy system access to clear any blockages in the line and faster installation from fewer bolts and nuts than flanged. 6 Victaulic monitoring and testing solutions offer a fire suppression system that offers nearly zero wetting, allowing your system to continue running. 1 Used to transport water to the plant for treatment, these facilities are crucial elements in the process and rely on Victaulic s reliability, space savings and ease of maintenance. victaulic.com 5 WST-SOW REV A
OWNER/ ENGINEER CONCERNS FOR THE WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT: Reliability The Victaulic system for mechanically joining pipe has been used for nearly 100 years to simplify design, construction and maintenance of water and wastewater treatment piping systems. Space Savings Victaulic couplings require little space along the pipe as bolts can be assembled from either side. Attenuation of Vibration Victaulic Style 31 couplings, assembled with flexible radius cut grooved AWWA ductile iron pipe, permit controlled pipe movement within the coupling while maintaining a positive seal and self-restrained joint. Thermal Expansion and Contraction Victaulic flexible grooved couplings utilize their linear movement and deflection capabilities to accommodate for pipe movement due to temperature changes. Self-restraining Victaulic couplings require no special restraints or tie-bars as with compression coupling and mechanical joints. System Accessibility With 75% fewer bolts and nuts than flanges, Victaulic couplings are easy to assemble and disassemble. This ease of disassembly allows you to have immediate access to your valves or system. 6 WST-SOW REV A
